Cheap chauffeur car hire New Delhi Airport for F1 Grand Prix

The Formula 1 Airtel Indian Grand Prix is held at the Jaypee Sports City complex in Greater Noida , South of India’s capital New Delhi. Already after its Formula1 debut in 2011, Buddh International Circuit has claimed status as one of the drivers' favourite tracks of the F1 season.

The 5.14 km race circuit layout was designed by former German touring car racer Herman Tilke, who is also the architect behind the Bahrain, China, Malaysia Turkey,US , South Korea and the UAE F1 circuits.

Getting to the Indian grand prix circuit from Delhi Airport
Car rental from the airport may not only be the most convenient, but also one of the safest and cost effective ways of getting to the Formula 1 circuit in Noida.

There are no direct means of public transportation from New Delhi Airport to the Buddh International race Circuit. The Delhi metro network may be one of the fastest and most efficient ways of transport when you are on the move in New Delhi itself but it doesn't reach the airport or the Jaypee Sports City complex.

A Taxi from the airport may cost anything between £20 and £40 depending on the taxi company, traffic and route. This means a return taxi journey from and to the airport will work out around the same as a chauffeur driven rental car for the entire Indian Grand Prix weekend.

The area around the Formula 1 Venue in Delhi (Noida)
Infrastructure, wealth and general standard of living may seem low in the Noida area compared to western standards. However, Noida is a thriving area for international industry, business and IT where many multinational corporations have call centres and where many Indian companies head offices are to be found today.

Hence the Noida area is relatively clean and offers a very high standard of accommodation, including well known international chains such as Radisson Blu and Park Plaza. It’s important to note that it’s a good idea to book your accommodation well in advance of the event, as most of the hotels in the area are known to be at their maximum capacity around and during the F1 racing event.

Noida also benefits from large air-conditioned shopping malls and brilliant restaurants but still has a true Indian feel, with its street food stalls, street vendors, small markets and the usual Auto rickshaws buzzing around everywhere. Because Noida was built from scratch as planned township in the late seventies the main roads are laid out in a grid, which means it’s incredibly easy to find your way around Noida by hire car.
